The Tuscaloosa City Council was notified that the agenda item to reappoint Peggy Hogue to the PERA board of directors will be withdrawn and that the council will advertise to fill the seat for two weeks.
Council member Randy told colleagues, "On page 36 of your council agenda, you'll see an ordinance reappointing miss Peggy Hogue to the PERA board of directors. This item is going to need to be withdrawn." When asked about next steps, staff and council discussed advertising the vacancy for two weeks; a council member responded, "2 weeks. K. That good with everybody? Yeah." Council members also noted Hogue's long service and suggested the city might "do something special for her."
